Celestial being

After Yuan Ming left the Black Fire Pavilion, he walked around and found that the shops opened by the Baidu Cave, the Beast King Sect, and the Qingyan Society were all concentrated in this neighborhood. He had a preliminary understanding of the situation here.

As a sect based on the Chamber of Commerce, Qingyan Society has the largest shop among the five sects. It sells a variety of things and attracts monks with various levels of spiritual materials as its selling point.

The shops in Baidu Cave sell all kinds of highly poisonous things, as well as precious poisonous insects.

As for the Beast King Sect, which is a body-refining sect, they sell some body-tempering spiritual fluids, elixirs, etc., which is the smallest scale.

Yuan Ming was very interested in the highly poisonous things in the Baidu Cave and the body tempering elixirs of the Beast King Sect. However, he was short of money. Since he was looking for ice spiritual materials, he naturally wanted to get them as soon as possible. Found it, the rest can only be discussed later.

"I've been busy studying the incense burner recently. After these things come to an end, I have to find a way to earn more spiritual stones."

Before he came to this market, he didn't realize how important spiritual stones were. Now that he's here, he realizes that everything is priced in spiritual stones. Not only can spiritual stones be used to buy various rare spiritual materials, but they can even be entrusted with other items. The monk goes to do something.

It seems that in the world of immortality, one can really do whatever they want with spiritual stones.

Yuan Ming thought so and stepped into the three-story building where Qingyan Shop is located.

The first floor of the shop is very spacious, with numerous counters on which all kinds of spiritual materials are neatly stacked, giving people a dazzling feeling.

Customers in the shop may be wandering alone or in groups, constantly passing between the counters.

Yuan Ming glanced around a few times and went straight to a counter.

The spiritual materials in Qingyan Store are arranged according to their attributes. The counter where he came was all filled with water attribute materials.

A man with a black beard stood behind the counter, and he and a kind-looking short, fat young man were discussing the price of two blue magic grasses fiercely.

Large shops such as this are first-come, first-served, so Yuan Ming stood aside and waited without disturbing him.

The short, fat young man was a master bidder with excellent eloquence and a sharp eye. After a barrage of advances, the black-bearded man was unable to reply and reluctantly agreed to the young man's price.

Yuan Ming was amazed. He always thought that his eloquence was not bad, but he couldn't compare with this short and fat young man. He was far behind.

This short, fat young man is only at the third or fourth level of Qi refining. I don’t know how he developed such good eloquence. Everyone in the world of immortality has it.

The young man put away the materials with satisfaction and turned to leave.

"This guest, do you want to buy some spiritual materials?" The black-bearded man noticed that Yuan Ming was waiting aside just now, and asked with some embarrassment.

"I wonder if there are any ice-type spiritual materials in your shop?" Yuan Ming went straight to the point without any nonsense.

"Hey, Sir, you are knowledgeable, but you have come to the right place! Speaking of this ice material, it is a very rare thing. It may not be available in other stores, but our Qingyan store naturally has it." The black-bearded man said softly. He said with a smile, his tone was undisguisedly proud.

"In terms of grades, are there any middle-grade ones?" Yuan Ming was also very happy when he heard this, with expectations in his eyes.

According to the Third Cave Master, the higher the grade of ice-attribute spiritual materials that can meet the requirements for the advancement of the Herring Sword, the better.

"Our store spent a lot of money to acquire just a few of the ice spiritual materials. We don't have any mid-grade ice materials at the moment." The smile on the black-bearded man's face froze, and then he showed a little embarrassment again, shaking his head and saying.

Yuan Ming was quite disappointed, but he didn't pay too much attention. He didn't expect to find the first shop. He had other purposes here.

"Can you buy spiritual materials here?" He spoke again without leaving.

"Take it! The price is fair, and I'm a good boy. If you have anything to like, please sit down in the private room and we'll discuss it in detail." The black-bearded man said.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Ming walked out of Qingyan Shop, with a smile on his face under his bamboo hat.

Except for a few of the spiritual materials he obtained from Huhuo and Kuntu, as well as the materials he had accumulated in the past, he sold the rest for more than thirty spiritual stones.

Including the original savings, Yuan Ming now has seventy spiritual stones in his hand.

This is a huge fortune for a Qi-refining monk who has just entered the world of immortality for less than two years.

According to previous understanding, the value of ordinary middle-grade spiritual materials is around forty or fifty spiritual stones. Even if the ice spiritual materials are more precious, seventy spiritual stones should be enough.

Yuan Ming walked forward and soon found another spiritual materials shop that looked good and stepped inside.

In less than half a stick of incense, he walked out and moved forward again.

An hour passed quickly.

In a restaurant in Fangshi, Yuan Ming was sitting on the window seat on the second floor, eating food and wine in silence. He didn't seem to be in a good mood.

During this hour, he asked seven or eight small shops selling spiritual materials, but still got nothing.

Black Rock City is already one of the top Dafang cities in the southern and northern regions. If you can't buy the required ice spiritual materials here, it will be in vain to go to other places.

Yuan Ming was secretly anxious, planning his actions in the afternoon.

The sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and two figures walked in.

Yuan Ming was startled. These two were actually acquaintances. One of them was Zhao Tong, and the other was the short, fat young man he met in Qingyan Pavilion before, the bargaining expert.

"Why did they come here together?" Yuan Mingzheng felt strange, and suddenly remembered that he took off the bamboo hat on his head for the convenience of eating. He took the bamboo hat and put it on.

"Hey, it's Brother Yuan! Why are you here?" Zhao Tong also had sharp eyes and immediately saw Yuan Ming. He greeted him from a distance and pulled the short and fat young man over.

"I heard that this place is busy recently, so I came here to take a stroll and see if I can find some treasures. Where is Brother Zhao?" Yuan Ming saw that he couldn't cover up, so he quietly put away the bamboo hat and stood up to greet him.

"Oh, don't mention it. Brother made a mistake some time ago and was demoted here by the sect. He was responsible for managing the business of Bi Luo Pu for half a year." Zhao Tong said with a sigh.

"I thought before that Brother Zhao was particularly good at business. Now Biluopu's business is going to be even more prosperous. By the way, who is this?" Yuan Ming blinked and looked at the short, fat young man.

"I forgot to introduce you. This fellow Taoist Gu Yue is an old friend of mine in Black Rock City. Lao Gu, this is Yuan Ming, my fellow disciple. I told you about him before, the money-saving expert, 伱You two need to get closer and closer." Zhao Tong briefly introduced the two of them, sat down politely, and enjoyed Yuan Ming's food and wine.

"It turns out that your Excellency is Yuan Ming. You and I seemed to have met once before in Qingyan Pavilion." Gu Yue looked Yuan Ming over and said with a smile.

"Brother Gu Yue has good eyesight. I can recognize him immediately even if he is wearing a bamboo hat. I admire you. Please take a seat." Yuan Ming also said with a slight smile.

"What? Have you met before?" Zhao Tong swallowed a big mouthful of food and wine and puffed out his cheeks.

"I met him at Qingyan Pavilion. Brother Gu Yue is very good at bargaining. Yuan admires him very much." Yuan Ming did not hide anything.

"What a trivial skill, nothing worth mentioning." Gu Yue waved her hand and said.

"Lao Gu is an intelligence dealer in Black Rock City. He relies on his mouth to make a living. Of course he is very eloquent. I am ashamed of myself." Zhao Tong chuckled and seemed to have a good relationship with Gu Yue.

"Information dealer?" Yuan Ming was startled.

"It seems that Brother Yuan is coming to Black Rock City for the first time. There are many shops here, and customers come from all over the world. A stranger may not be able to figure it out even if he comes here for three to five days. Information dealers like Lao Gu have been hanging around in the dark for many years. Yancheng is specially hired by people who come to Black Rock City for the first time to inquire about information, find items, etc. for them." Zhao Tong explained.

When Yuan Ming heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.

"Brother Yuan Ming, have you found what you need? If not, you can ask Lao Gu to help you look for it." Zhao Tong said.

"I haven't found it yet. I wonder if Brother Gu Yue has any free time?" Yuan Ming looked at Gu Yue as he spoke. He cast a dark eye on Black Rock City and continued to blindly search for ice spiritual materials in the afternoon. The chance of finding it was really slim, so he might as well hire this Gu Yue.

Zhao Tong and Gu Yue knew each other, and with this relationship, Gu Yue should be trustworthy.

"Brother Yuan has instructions, so he will naturally have time." Gu Yue readily agreed.

"Since you two have business to discuss, I won't stay here any longer." Zhao Tong stood up and wiped his mouth.

"I'm not in a hurry. If you have important matters, you can go and do it first." Yuan Ming said.

"We don't have anything to do. We just came here to have a drink and catch up on old times. You guys can talk slowly." Zhao Tong laughed and said goodbye.

"It's okay to say whatever Brother Yuan needs. I don't dare to say anything else. In this city, there are more or less ways to obtain information about various sources of goods." Gu Yue said.

"I need a spiritual material with ice attributes. The higher the quality, the better. A medium-grade one is best." Yuan Ming said tentatively.

"Ice spiritual materials are not very common in the first place, and it is even harder to find mid-grade and above. But now that you have arrived in Black Rock City and found me, it is not impossible." Gu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she said with a smile.

"Well, I'll leave this to you. How much will it cost to hire you?" Yuan Ming asked.

"One spirit stone a day is enough." Gu Yue said.

"Then help me look for it for a day." Yuan Ming took out a spiritual stone with some pain and prepared to throw it.

"If you can't find it, this spiritual stone will be returned to me." Yuan Ming thought for a moment, retracted his hand and pinched the spiritual stone, and said

He seems to have a lot of spirit stones on his body, and the things he wants to buy are also expensive. Every spirit stone must be spent carefully.

"Deal, Brother Yuan, please come with me." Gu Yue took the spirit stone and left the wine shop.

"Where to go?" Yuan Ming followed.

"For mid-grade ice spiritual materials, it is basically impossible to find them here in the West City. You have to look for them in several large stores in the East City." Gu Yue said.

"East Market, West Market?" Yuan Ming was startled.

"Black Rock City is not small, but its layout is very simple. It is divided into four parts: east, west, south, and north. The place we are at now is the West Market. The shops opened by the major forces in the southern and northern regions are all here. The East Market It is the southern region of southern Xinjiang, the eastern region, and the places where shops were opened in the Central Plains of Jin Kingdom." Gu Yue talked eloquently.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully.

He had heard about the Southern Territory, the Eastern Territory and other places in Southern Border, but he had never had the opportunity to contact them. He never thought that there were shops in those places in this city. It would be an eye-opener for him.

This time I came to Black Rock City, I really came to the right place.
